I have friction shifters on one of my bikes, and indexed shifters (the old SunTour Accushift) on my Rivendell Road Standard. I actually prefer the indexed shifters, just a quick click and the bike is in the gear with no need to trim or adjust the shift. Maybe I'm lazy, but the ease of shifting certainly doesn't hold any problems for me.
